Belly Button Boy

Hey everyone...I am so sorry that I have been away from my blog for so long.  I have had a year of being unhealthy.  Bronchitis has gotten the best of me.  I have found a very cute book that I think you would love.  It is called Belly Button Boy.  It is great to read if you are studying plants.  Really!!!

Another School Year

This is my last weekend before teachers go back to school in my district.  The students will start on August 27.  I am taking a leap of faith this year and have done away with all of my desks and replaced them with tables.  I will post pics next week.  Do any of you fellow teachers use tables instead of desks?  How does it work?  I am a little nervous, because we have many changes taking place in our district this year.   We are switching from Envision Math to Investigations.  We  beginning Thinking Maps and we are going run-off paper free.  It is all a little bit nerve wracking.  Do any of you have comments on this? Anxious to hear from you...

Ideas For Teaching Proper Behavior

You Can't Teach a Class You Can't Manage by Donna Whyte

I have attached a unit that will definitely help you with disciplining your class.  None of these ideas are mine, but I put the ones that I felt were very helpful into this unit.  Check it out and get your copy of my notes for free.  If you like them, get your own copy of this amazing book.  You will not regret it.
